How It Is Done

Improvement Era, vol. 25, no. 2, December 1921, p. 151

Penman, Stella Jaques

How it is Done That future achievement you have in your mind, Needs only great effort, and then you will find, That wishing for anything never can win it; But striving will do it, if you but begin it. Let never discouragement enter your dream; Stick close to your thought and row always up stream; And work while you dream it, and talk it and sing it; For these help the effort that surely will bring it. If mountainous obstacles rise in your way, Just climb them! and then on their top you can say, "I see it! It's coming!" and then you will shout it; "'Believe me\ I'll win it!'" and no one win doubt it. Satella Jaques Penman San Diego, California
